This former standalone CT screening page has been folded into Cardiac Imaging & Valve Plan. It remains as a short preserved pointer so old links do not break.

This page is no longer the active owner. Its CAC/CCTA table, RPPH confirmation checklist, LDCT boundary, abdomen-CT boundary, and full-body CT avoidance rule were folded into Cardiac Imaging & Valve Plan on 2026-05-10.
Preserved core rule: use CT narrowly. CAC is the low-friction coronary plaque anchor; CCTA is for symptoms, positive CAC, or direct plaque/anatomy questions; LDCT is guideline/smoking-threshold dependent; abdomen CT is symptom/structural-triggered; full-body CT screening remains a bad tradeoff.
